Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain excess liquid. In a large bowl, mix cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated. Set aside.
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly against the sides. Trim and crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Pour the prepared cherry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and mix until a crumbly texture forms.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the cherry filling, ensuring all areas are covered.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Allow the Cherry Crisp Pie to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
